Tracking DJT stock

Right, but has DJT been around long enough to go in any index?
Good point, probably not Super. I find it shocking that Vanguard owns significant shares in any funds. Still, I imagine it is well under 1% in any one fund. Even if it went to 0 it would have negligible effect. And who knows, maybe they sold half position at 300% gain.
 
You mean there was a time I could have had Trump Vodka with my Trump Steak while reading Trump Magazine?

I kinda hate I missed out on that.
Flashback 2016:


Trump Vodka removed from shelves in Israel because of kosher labelling worries​

The vodka brand, one of US President-elect Donald Trump’s unsuccessful business ventures, was discontinued in the USA in 2011 but is popular in Israel during Passover

“… Trump Vodka, which was launched in 2006, was marketed as "the world's finest premium" spirit that would “demand the same respect and inspire the same awe as the international legacy and brand of Donald Trump himself.” It was discontinued in 2011.

The Times of Israel reports that although the gold bottles - which feature the tagline “success distilled” - are now not available anywhere else, they remain popular in Israel during the Jewish holiday Passover.

Trump Vodka is made from potato rather than grain, making it kosher to drink during the eight-day holiday.

… In 2013, a production error meant that some Trump Vodka which was sold in Israel was made from grain rather than potatoes or molasses. Bottles were then sold with labels warning that their contents may not meet kosher requirements, The Jerusalem Postreported.“

Flashback 2 - 2016:


Those ‘Trump steaks’ weren’t actually Trump’s steaks​


“Donald Trump showed off a heaping pile of mouth-watering steaks on a butcher board at a celebration in Florida after his primary wins Tuesday, calling them “Trump steaks.”

That’s true in the sense that they were steaks, and they were on a Trump property.

But they weren’t steaks from Trump’s fabled, now-shuttered, Trump Steaks business. They came from Bush Brothers Provision Co., a West Palm Beach, Fla., purveyor of fine meats and foods that provides top-shelf eats for a number of Trump properties, John Bush, whose family owns the company, told Bloomberg News.

… Trump pointed to the beef and the other Trump-branded products while defending himself against criticism of his business smarts from Mitt Romney last week.

The steaks were displayed alongside cases of Trump bottled water, Trump wine from his Virginia winery and copies of Trump magazine.

“Trump steaks, where are the steaks? Do we have steaks? We have Trump steaks,” Trump said, before joking that he’d sell them to attendees for $50 each.

Trump frozen steaks were offered at Sharper Image stores and by mail-order catalog in 2007. The Classic Collection — two filet mignons, two bone-in ribeyes and 12 burgers — was priced at $199. Sales have since been discontinued. …”

Wonder who these people are buying the stock when it's all but evident it's going to crash at some point.

If my brother was an alcoholic I don’t think, no matter how much money I thought I could make, that I would market an alcohol brand. That’s just me though.
 
Could be what is known as a dead cat bounce. Owners underwater that bought at 25, 30, or 40, buy more to bring their average price down. They are usually hoping it goes up enough that they don't lose as much, when they can get out.

I'm also not convinced that there aren't political types, and corporate types trying to suck up to Trump, for favors down the road should he win.
 
Could also be short sellers (assuming they were able to borrow shares to short) buying back shares to close their short.
 

Trump Media shareholder UAV dumped nearly 11 million shares​


"United Atlantic Ventures LLC, a major shareholder in Trump Media, has sold or otherwise gotten rid of nearly 11 million shares in the company, according to a regulatory filing Thursday.

The move left UAV, a partnership of former “Apprentice” contestants Andrew Litinsky and Wes Moss, owning just 100 shares in Trump Media, which operates the Truth Social app.

UAV was allowed to sell any of its 5.4% stake in DJT’s outstanding shares after a lock-up agreement that barred company insiders from selling expired on Sept. 19.

UAV is the only known insider to sell off shares since last week.

Litinsky and Moss had pitched the idea of a social media company to former President Donald Trump, and co-founded the company with him in 2021.
The duo later fell out with Trump, who is the Republican presidential nominee, and have been embroiled in lawsuits with Trump Media over their shares since then. ..."
